The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Tang Zhongbai drove out of his yard in a horse-drawn carriage. After picking up Jiang Muxia, the two went to Donggang Village together.

The air in the morning is clean and cool, and the breeze on your face makes you feel a little more relaxed.

The carriage drove towards the east of Donggang Village and stopped in front of a large courtyard surrounded by a mud wall. From a distance, a sound of "cackles" could be heard coming from the courtyard, adding a different color to the quiet morning. The densely planted trees in front of the gate stood drooping around the courtyard wall.

The courtyard gate was open. Tang Zhongbai tied the horse to the tree in front of the gate and followed Jiang Muxia in.

The flocks of ducks in the yard saw the strangers and swarmed away from them, quacking.

"This couple has done a good job raising the ducks." Jiang Muxia was very happy as she looked at the plump ducks in front of her.

The couple listened to her and bought many ducklings in the spring. They built a large yard on their land, built a few houses, and moved the carpentry workshop here.

The couple put all their energy into raising ducks. There is a large green vegetable field on the other side of the yard. In Jiang Zaohua's words, these vegetables are for adding nutrition to the ducks.

When the ducks are sold in the fall, they can make down quilts from the duck feathers and sell them for a good price, and they can also find a good way to sell the duck meat.

Tang Zhongbai smiled, "It was your idea that was the best."

There were banging sounds in the carpentry room and smoke was coming out of the kitchen chimney. The couple had their own division of labor and lived a happy life.

Tang Zhongbai walked to the carpentry room. He was eager to see what Jiang Muxia's self-rotating fan looked like and couldn't wait.

Jiang Muxia shook her head helplessly. Why did she feel that he, a young man from a noble family, had not seen as much of the world as she, a country girl?

Jiang Zaohua smiled and said, "I guessed you would come over in the next two days. Your brother said he would send it over, but I told him to wait. She couldn't stand the heat anymore, so she came over to get it herself."

"Alas!..." Jiang Muxia frowned and pretended to be serious, "He married a wife and forgot about his sister..."

Jiang Zaohua was so angry that she picked up the spatula and hit her, "You stupid girl, how dare you tease me..."

The two little sisters were laughing and playing in the kitchen.

In the carpentry workshop, Tang Zhongbai looked curiously at a log-colored pillar standing in the corner. On top of it was a strange-looking thing with a round shape made of woven wooden strips on the outside and wooden chips embedded inside. He exclaimed in amazement, "Is this a self-rotating fan?"

Li Jiru looked at him with a smile, walked up to his side, reached out to turn the knob in the middle of the wooden pole, and after turning it twice, a few leaves in the circular wooden fence on the top of the pole began to turn, and a cool breeze blew, making Tang Zhongbai shiver.

His eyes lit up and he exclaimed it was magical.

Li Jiru raised her head with pride in her eyes, and did not forget to praise her sister in front of him.

"What do you think? My sister is smart, isn't she? She is more than worthy of you!"

"Of course, the person I like won't be bad."

While the two were praising each other, Jiang Muxia helped her sister-in-law prepare breakfast.

Tang Zhongbai and his companion ate a few bites of food in a hurry. They had to hurry back to the city. The tax issue had not been resolved yet. He had to keep an eye on Feng Nian to prevent him from doing anything else.

She pulled a cart full of unassembled rotary fans and turned a corner to the villa, where she had to leave two.

The two men sat on the shaft of the cart and slowly drove towards Xigang Village.

There were more and more pedestrians on the road, most of them driving ox and donkey carts towards the north of the village.

"What's going on? What happened?" Tang Zhongbai frowned. The disaster was getting worse and worse. What were they going to do in groups of three or five?

He was afraid that the victims would gather together and cause trouble.

"Uncle, where are you going?" Jiang Muxia asked puzzledly.

"Qilu Village, the goddess has returned and is going to perform a ritual to pray for rain."

The two looked at each other in shock. Just when Tang Zhongbai couldn't find her, she actually ran back.

"Are we going?"

Jiang Muxia wanted to meet this goddess who was talked about by everyone as a miraculous woman, to see her true face and test her true skills.

"No rush, deliver the things first and talk about it when we get back to the city." Tang Zhongbai's eyes were deep and he already had a plan in mind.

When the carriage arrived at Xigang Village, she saw from afar Aunt Chun helping Aunt Jun to sit on the ox cart. Jiang Hexi sat on the shaft of the cart, turned around, and headed north.

"Gee." She urged the horse to gallop forward, shouting, "Auntie Chun, Auntie Jun, wait for me for a moment..."

She knew that she couldn't stop them now. The women in the village believed in these supernatural tricks. To stop them would be to break their faith. Instead of trying to stop them, it would be better to just advise them to be careful.

"That's great. You can come with us, get some of the goddess' power, and get rid of your regrets." Aunt Chun pulled her onto the ox cart.

She was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, and moved Lu Chaoyun out to get rid of her restraints, "Auntie, why don't you go first, I will go to the other courtyard and bring my mother to the city."

Aunt Chun finally let go. "The goddess heard about the drought and came back from the south to pray for rain for us. She is such a kind person."

Although she said this to Jiang Muxia, she was looking at Tang Zhongbai.

Is she asking for credit from the goddess?

Jiang Muxia blinked and laughed awkwardly twice.

If they knew that Tang Zhongbai was capturing the goddess, they would definitely eat Tang Zhongbai.

Judging from their attitudes, Tang Zhongbai's plan to capture the goddess is facing many obstacles, and the people of the entire county do not agree.

I am afraid that there will be great unrest at that time, so Tang Zhongbai has to make long-term plans.

The two men hurried back to the city, and without even having time to deliver the fan, they rushed to the government office.

They called Tang San, Tang Si and Hu Daxin, and set out for Lu Village.

They wanted to see how this goddess would play tricks and deceive the people.

The sun is shining brightly, hanging high in the sky. Before noon, the heat wave is overwhelming.

In such weather, she came to invite rain? It was ridiculous.

Tang Si said disdainfully: "Sir, do you want to arrest her and interrogate her directly?"

Hu Daxin's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree, but Tang San scolded him.

"Nonsense, don't you see that almost all the people in the county are rushing to Lu Village? Now she is the savior of the people in the county. Do you want to make an enemy of the people in the county by arresting her at this time?"

Tang San rolled his eyes at him, his eyes full of resentment of being a good person.

"But, but, we clearly know that she is a liar, so should we just ignore it?"

"Of course I care. Now is not the right time, and we can't bring it up. To deal with someone who pretends to be a ghost, the means must be more mysterious than hers." Jiang Muxia said.

Tang Si and Hu Daxin came up to her and asked her quietly, "How do we do it?"

Jiang Muxia pretended to be mysterious, put her finger to her lips, made a gesture to keep quiet, and said in a low voice: "Secret."
